The Keepsake Notes

Early planning with EH Design ensures your luxury residential project is approached thoughtfully and executed better—creating seamless coordination, accurate budgets, and a calmer path into the construction season ahead.

When the twinkle lights come down and your home settles back into its quiet rhythm, a blank canvas begins to appear. The post-holiday season is the perfect moment to notice what’s working, what feels tired, and where your home is ready for its next chapter. This gentle reset invites clarity, vision, and the space to imagine something new—intentional design that supports the way you truly want to live.

A beautifully decorated Christmas doesn’t begin with a brand-new theme each year—it begins with intention. By curating pieces you love and restyling them in fresh ways, your home feels collected, refined, and effortlessly timeless. This is the art of a well-curated holiday.

Explore the top luxury home design trends of 2026 — from open yet cozy gathering spaces to Earthy Luxe finishes in walnut, alder, and white oak. Discover how Minnesota’s most refined homes are blending wellness, warmth, and timeless sophistication with EH Design.

Some pieces don’t just complete a space — they connect it to the past. At Pondsview Cottage, that connection came in the form of two antique cane-back chairs discovered tucked away at a local vintage store.

The magic of the holidays isn’t just in the twinkle lights or garland — it’s in the way your home feels when everything comes together with intention. From layered lighting and rich textures to designer tree styling, discover how to create a holiday home that feels warm, cohesive, and beautifully yours.

Pondview Cottage is a story of intentional design—where the footprint was shaped by lifestyle, not limits, and every detail was crafted to feel like it had always belonged. Designed for a homeowner who valued soul over square footage, this project reflects what happens when a home is built around how you truly want to live.

Some homes are meant to be seen. This one was designed to be felt. Nestled beside a quiet pond in Wayzata, Pondsview Cottage is a love letter to warmth, comfort, and timeless design. What began as a simple remodel evolved into a deeply personal retreat — a place where the homeowner can slow down, reconnect, and breathe in the beauty of every season.

When it comes to remodeling, timing is everything. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is waiting too long to bring in a designer — leading to costly rework, overwhelm, and missed opportunities. The truth? The best time to hire an interior designer is the moment you decide to remodel, ideally alongside your builder. At EH Design, our boutique process ensures every detail is curated up front, so your remodel is seamless, intentional, and beautifully yours.

The holiday season brings with it the joy of decorating and a chance to refresh our home with warmth, beauty, and a touch of magic.
